A 38-year-old McHenry man was indicted in Lake County Court on Wednesday on five counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse for allegedly having sex on two occasions with his son's 15-year-old girlfriend.

James Steadman of Bonnie Brae Lane allegedly had consensual sex with his son's girlfriend at the Barrington Motor Lodge, 405 N. Northwest Hwy., in early August, said Lake County Assistant State's Atty. Jeff Pavletic.

The girl was a runaway, Pavletic said.

Steadman was arrested when the girl's father began following Steadman after spotting the two together, Pavletic said. After he saw the two go to the motel, he went to police, Pavletic said.

Steadman allegedly used a fake name at the motel, but an employee there was able to identify him, Pavletic said.
